IP FINDER SOFTWARE*
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a
device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.
If your network supports DHCP and your MEGApix camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder will
automatically find and set your MEGApix camera to correspond with your network requirements.
Static
Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when
setting your device to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must
manually enter the correct network settings for your MEGApix camera. The settings will
correspond with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we recommend that you
(1) setup the camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3)
change the settings to a static IP address.
1.
To set your MEGApix camera to Static, highlight the desired device from the search results
list, and click on Configuration. In the “Network Configuration” window, make sure Static is
selected.

Make sure cable is intact and there are no cuts or exposed wires.

If Yes, are the camera’s LED lights turned on and blinking?
The camera’s LED lights indicate that the camera is powered on. Blinking LED lights indicate that the camera
has finished booting up and is transmitting data.

If Yes, is the internet working properly?
Make sure you can connect to the internet with other devices on the network (ex. Your Computer). Your internet
could be temporarily down.

If Yes, if using a power adaptor, does it meet camera’s power requirements?
Power Requirements: DC12V (5.16W, 430mA), PoE Ports (Class 2, less than 7W)

If Yes, if using PoE Switch, is it connected to a proper internet outlet and operating properly?
Make sure the PoE Switch is connected to a router/modem and the ports that have devices connected to them
have a green LED on.

If Yes, is the computer on the same network as the MEGApix camera?
Camera and computer should be connected to the same router. Contact your network administrator if you have
more than one network available.

If Yes, try pinging the IP camera’s default IP address 192.168.1.123
From your desktop, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Type “ping 192.168.1.123” and
press Enter. If you get the message “Request timed out,” camera is not connected. Camera is connected if you
get data.

If Yes, try connecting the camera to a different port in the PoE Switch.
That specific Switch Port may be damaged or currently not working properly.

If Yes, try resetting the camera to default settings.
Press the 2 buttons in the back together and hold for 5 seconds. The camera will return to factory default with
default IP address 192.168.1.123. If your network supports DHCP, the camera will be found using the IP Finder
